Jim Shockey Classic Military Tribute Golf Tournament

The 7th annual Jim Shockey Classic Military Tribute Golf Tournament will be held on Dec. 2 and 3, 2018, at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The two-day event raises money to support sending service members on world-class hunts. The Jim Shockey Military Tribute Hunts have sent US and Canadian warriors for once-in-a-lifetime hunting adventures – from bears in Alberta to reindeer in the Aleutian Islands to pronghorn in New Mexico.

“We are so grateful for the partnership with Jim Shockey,” said Anthony Pace, founder of Freedom Hunters. “Freedom Hunters has partnered with Jim since 2014 to manage his Military Tribute Hunts. The Jim Shockey Classic is a vital fundraiser to honor our heroes. Partners in and outside the hunting industry can a make a difference in the lives of those that have sacrificed so much.”

Several sponsorship levels are available – starting at $100, which includes a photo of your favorite service member and information placed at a tee. The top level of $7,500 includes two 4-person team entries, two service members’ paid golf rounds, two tickets to the Jim Shockey Meet & Greet and other benefits.
